太赫兹探测装置Terahertz detection device 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及太赫兹探测技术领域,特别是涉及太赫兹探测装置。The invention relates to the field of terahertz detection technology, and in particular to a terahertz detection device.
背景技术Background technique
太赫兹波(THz波)是指频率在0.1~10THz之间的电磁波,太赫兹波的波长短、没有电离辐射产生,同时还包含了丰富的光谱信息,可以用于鉴别物质类别和成分。太赫兹技术在医疗、食品、安全监测、军事等领域具有很大的应用前景。Terahertz waves (THz waves) are electromagnetic waves with a frequency between 0.1 and 10 THz. The wavelength of the terahertz wave is short and there is no ionizing radiation. It also contains a wealth of spectral information that can be used to identify the substance class and composition. Terahertz technology has great application prospects in the fields of medical care, food, safety monitoring, and military.
随着超快激光技术的不断进步,太赫兹波是利用飞秒激光激发半导体表面和利用光电导发射接收机制进行产生和探测。其中,太赫兹光电导探测器是通过半导体材料上面的光导天线耦合太赫兹电磁波,形成载流子高速运动,从而产生瞬间电流。在太赫兹探测装置中,电路采集的时间常数τ可表示太赫兹波形探测装置输出信号随射入的太赫兹波变化的速率,例如入射的太赫兹波突然照射和消失时,探测器的输出不会立刻到达最大值或下降至零,而是随着时间常数τ的不同呈现对应的缓慢上升和下降。系统等效时间常数τ反应了装置的响应时间及动态特性。但是,当太赫兹信号较弱或光电导体的光强照度非常低时,放大模块的输入电流噪声、散粒噪声、约翰逊噪声等形成的噪声电流及耦合噪声电流,将高于太赫兹波所产生的实际电流。同时,放大器的阻抗与光电导天线的阻抗不匹配也会降低装置的性噪比。With the continuous advancement of ultrafast laser technology, terahertz waves use femtosecond lasers to excite semiconductor surfaces and utilize photoconductive emission and reception mechanisms for generation and detection. Among them, the terahertz photoconductive detector couples terahertz electromagnetic waves through a photoconductive antenna on a semiconductor material to form a high-speed movement of carriers, thereby generating an instantaneous current. In the terahertz detection device, the time constant τ collected by the circuit can indicate the rate at which the output signal of the terahertz waveform detecting device changes with the incoming terahertz wave. For example, when the incident terahertz wave suddenly illuminates and disappears, the output of the detector is not It will immediately reach the maximum value or fall to zero, but will exhibit a corresponding slow rise and fall with the time constant τ. The system equivalent time constant τ reflects the response time and dynamic characteristics of the device. However, when the terahertz signal is weak or the light intensity of the photoconductor is very low, the noise current and the coupled noise current generated by the input current noise, shot noise, Johnson noise, etc. of the amplification module will be higher than those generated by the terahertz wave. Actual current. At the same time, the impedance of the amplifier does not match the impedance of the photoconductive antenna, which also reduces the S/N ratio of the device.

上述公式中,CCM+为仪表放大器U1的同相输入共模电容;CCM-为仪表放大器U1的反相输入共模电容;CDIFF为仪表放大器U1的差模输入电容。CCM+、CCM-、CDIFF共同形成了仪表放大器U1的等效输入电容CIN,等效输入电容CIN的典型值为1~20pF。RIN+为仪表放大器U1前端输入至放大器同相输入端的走线等效电阻,RIN+为仪表放大器U1前端输入至放大器反相输入端的走线等效电阻。In the above formula, C CM+ is the non-inverting input common mode capacitor of instrumentation amplifier U1; C CM- is the inverting input common mode capacitor of instrumentation amplifier U1; C DIFF is the differential mode input capacitance of instrumentation amplifier U1.

在放大器应用电路中,反相输入共模电容CCM-将会在仪表放大器U1的闭环回路中引入一个极点,在某些特殊条件下,可能会引起第一级放大电路310自激或不稳定。第一级放大电路310的输入电容不仅由仪表放大器U1的输入电容组成,还包括布线引线的杂散电容、封装的引脚电容、耦合电容。在本实施例中,将仪表放大器U1的反相输入端周围的接地层去除,同时,使引线连接尽量短,从而最大程度的减小杂散电容、引脚电容耦合电容的产生。In the amplifier application circuit, the inverting input common mode capacitor C CM- will introduce a pole in the closed loop of the instrumentation amplifier U1, which may cause the first stage amplifying circuit 310 to be self-excited or unstable under certain special conditions. . The input capacitance of the first stage amplifying circuit 310 is not only composed of the input capacitance of the instrumentation amplifier U1, but also the stray capacitance of the wiring leads, the pin capacitance of the package, and the coupling capacitance. In the present embodiment, the ground layer around the inverting input terminal of the instrumentation amplifier U1 is removed, and the lead connection is made as short as possible, thereby minimizing the generation of stray capacitance and pin capacitance coupling capacitance.
参考图1,光电导模块100中的电阻RPT为光电导栅极的等效电阻RPT,电容CA为双极型偶极天线140的等效电容CA。其中,等效电阻RPT、等效电容CA是双极型偶极天线140的固有特性,受工艺和材料的限制,与光电导结构制作有关。在本实施例中,等效电阻RPT的阻值约为107欧姆,等效电容CA的电容值的稳定值约为0.5pF,等效电容CA的电容值在0.3~0.7pF之间波动。在其他实施例中,其等效电阻RPT的阻值、等效电容CA的电容值由双极型偶极天线140的制作工艺和材料特性所决定。Referring to FIG 1, the module 100 of the resistors R PT photoconductive photoconductive gate is the equivalent resistance R PT, the capacitance C A of the bipolar dipole antenna 140 of the equivalent capacitance C A. Wherein the equivalent resistance R PT, the equivalent capacitance C A dipole antenna is a bipolar inherent characteristics 140, by processes and materials limitations, related to the production of the photoconductive structure. In this embodiment, the resistance of the equivalent resistor R PT is about 10 7 ohms, the stable value of the capacitance of the equivalent capacitor C A is about 0.5 pF, and the capacitance of the equivalent capacitor C A is 0.3 to 0.7 pF. Fluctuating between. In other embodiments, the resistance of the equivalent resistance R PT and the capacitance of the equivalent capacitance C A are determined by the fabrication process and material properties of the bipolar dipole antenna 140.
光电导模块100通过响应调节模块200与第一级放大电路310连接。假设太赫兹探测装置的总时间常数τreceiver,其总时间常数τreceiver由光电导模块100和放大模块300共同决定,即光电导模块100与第一级放大电路310的响应速度有总时间常数τreceiver来决定。总时间常数τreceiver是由总等效电阻Rreceiver和总等效电容Creceiver共同决定的。其中,双极型偶极天线40的等效电容CA和等效电阻RPT是特定值,受双极型偶极天线40的制作工艺和材质的影响。仪表放大器U1的等效输入电容CIN,仪表放大器U1的等效输入电阻RIN由RIN1、RIN2、RIN3决定。 其等效输入电容CIN、等效输入电阻RIN为仪表放大器U1的固有属性,也为特定值。在本实施例中,仪表放大器U1的型号为INA115,等效输入电阻RIN的阻值一般在1011~1012Ω之间。The photoconductive module 100 is connected to the first stage amplifying circuit 310 through the response adjusting module 200. Assuming the total time constant τ receiver of the terahertz detecting device, the total time constant τ receiver is determined by the photoconductive module 100 and the amplifying module 300, that is, the response speed of the photoconductive module 100 and the first-stage amplifying circuit 310 has a total time constant τ The receiver decides. The total time constant τ receiver is determined by the total equivalent resistance R receiver and the total equivalent capacitance C receiver . The equivalent capacitance C A and the equivalent resistance R PT of the bipolar dipole antenna 40 are specific values, and are affected by the manufacturing process and material of the bipolar dipole antenna 40. The equivalent input capacitance C IN of instrumentation amplifier U1 and the equivalent input resistance R IN of instrumentation amplifier U1 are determined by R IN1 , R IN2 , R IN3 . Its equivalent input capacitance C IN and equivalent input resistance R IN are inherent properties of the instrumentation amplifier U1 and are also specific values. In this embodiment, the model of the instrumentation amplifier U1 is INA115, and the resistance of the equivalent input resistance R IN is generally between 10 11 and 10 12 Ω.
响应调节模块200包括第一电阻R1和第一电容C1。第一电阻R1与第一电容C1并联;第一电阻R1的一端与正极偶极天线141连接,第一电阻R1的另一端与负极偶极天线143连接。The response adjustment module 200 includes a first resistor R1 and a first capacitor C1. The first resistor R1 is connected in parallel with the first capacitor C1; one end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the positive dipole antenna 141, and the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the negative dipole antenna 143.
由于设置了响应调节模块200,其装置的总等效电阻Rreceiver如式(4)所示:Since the response adjustment module 200 is provided, the total equivalent resistance R receiver of the device is as shown in the formula (4):
Rreceiver=RPT//R1//RIN               (4)R receiver =R PT //R1//R IN (4)
总等效电容Creceiver如式(5)所示:The total equivalent capacitance C receiver is as shown in equation (5):
Creceiver=CA+C1+CIN                 (5)C receiver =C A +C1+C IN (5)
总时间常数τrece i ver如式(6)所示:The total time constant τ rece i ver is as shown in equation (6):
τreceiver=Rreceiver·Creceiver              (6)τ receiver =R receiver ·C receiver (6)
在高速采集电路中,总时间常数τreceiver越小越好,则该装置对输入信号的响应就会越快。通过公式(6)可以看出,可以通过减少总等效电阻Rreceiver和总等效电容Creceiver来减小总时间常数τreceiverIn a high speed acquisition circuit, the smaller the total time constant τ receiver , the better the response of the device to the input signal. (6) It can be seen by the equation, the time constant can be reduced total τ receiver by reducing the total equivalent resistance R receiver and the total equivalent capacitance C receiver.
由于双极型偶极天线140的等效电容CA受工艺和材料的限制,与光电导结构制作有关,等效电容CA的电容值在0.3~0.7pF之间。而第一电容C1可通过将仪表放大器U1集成在双极型偶极天线140上或尽量靠近双极型偶极天线140,进而减少信号走线的长度,可以消除杂散电容、耦合电容的形成,即可获得最小电容。在本实施例中,第一电容C1的电容值在0.4~5pF的范围内,在其他实施例中,第一电容C1的电容值可以根据具体的太赫兹探测装置的各部件的设计来确定,并不限于本实施例给出的范围。Since the equivalent capacitance C A of the bipolar dipole antenna 140 is limited by the process and materials, it is related to the fabrication of the photoconductive structure, and the capacitance of the equivalent capacitor C A is between 0.3 and 0.7 pF. The first capacitor C1 can reduce the length of the signal trace by integrating the instrumentation amplifier U1 on the bipolar dipole antenna 140 or as close as possible to the bipolar dipole antenna 140, thereby eliminating the formation of stray capacitance and coupling capacitance. , you can get the minimum capacitance. In this embodiment, the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 is in the range of 0.4 to 5 pF. In other embodiments, the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 may be determined according to the design of each component of the specific terahertz detecting device. It is not limited to the scope given by the embodiment.
在本实施例中,仪表放大器U1的等效输入电阻RIN的阻值为1011~1012Ω,双极型偶极天线140的等效电阻RPT的阻值约为107欧姆,仪表放大器U1的等效输入电阻RIN远远大于光电导栅极的等效电阻RPT。若第一电阻R1远远大于仪表放大器U1的等效输入电阻RIN和双极型偶极天线140的等效电阻RPT,则式(6)可近似式(7): In this embodiment, the resistance of the equivalent input resistance R IN of the instrumentation amplifier U1 is 10 11 to 10 12 Ω, and the resistance of the equivalent resistance R PT of the bipolar dipole antenna 140 is about 10 7 ohms. The equivalent input resistance R IN of amplifier U1 is much larger than the equivalent resistance R PT of the photoconductive gate. If the first resistor R1 is much larger than the equivalent input resistance R IN of the instrumentation amplifier U1 and the equivalent resistance R PT of the bipolar dipole antenna 140, the equation (6) can approximate the equation (7):
τreceiver=RPT·(CA+C1+CIN)              (7)τ receiver =R PT ·(C A +C1+C IN ) (7)
由式(7)可知,通过调整双极型偶极天线140的工艺和材质,可获得最优化的时间常数。但在实际应用中通过改变双极型偶极天线140实现响应的优化是具有一定的难度,但是可以通过调节第一电阻R1来优化总时间常数τreceiver,若R1<RPT且R1<RIN,则总时间常数τreceiver,可优化成式(8):As can be seen from equation (7), by adjusting the process and material of the bipolar dipole antenna 140, an optimized time constant can be obtained. However, in practical applications, it is difficult to optimize the response by changing the bipolar dipole antenna 140, but the total time constant τ receiver can be optimized by adjusting the first resistor R1, if R1 < R PT and R1 < R IN , the total time constant τ receiver can be optimized into equation (8):
τreceiver=R1·(CA+C1+CIN)              (8)τ receiver =R1·(C A +C1+C IN ) (8)
由式(8)可知,可通过调节第一电容C1和第一电阻R1,来调节总时间常数τreceiver,使装置的响应时间达到最小,同时消除和抑制了噪声的传输和耦合,实现信噪比及采样率的最大化,提升太赫兹探测装置的性能。It can be known from equation (8) that the total time constant τ receiver can be adjusted by adjusting the first capacitor C1 and the first resistor R1 to minimize the response time of the device, and at the same time eliminate and suppress the transmission and coupling of noise to realize signal noise. The performance of the terahertz detection device is improved by maximizing the sampling rate.
在另一实施例中,还可以使第一电阻R1的阻值与双极型偶极天线的等效电阻RPT相等。当第一电阻R1的阻值与双极型偶极天线420的等效电阻RPT相等时,其总时间常数τreceiver较小,总响应速度较快。In another embodiment, the resistance of the first resistor R1 can be made equal to the equivalent resistance R PT of the bipolar dipole antenna. When the resistance of the first resistor R1 is equal to the equivalent resistance R PT of the bipolar dipole antenna 420, the total time constant τ receiver is small, and the total response speed is fast.

One end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the negative dipole antenna 143, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is grounded. During the detection and sampling process of the terahertz detection device, the relative voltage generated by the bipolar dipole antenna 140 on the photoconductive gate 130 sensing the terahertz wave may exceed the common mode input voltage range of the instrumentation amplifier U1, by setting the second The resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 provide a bleeder loop for the charge accumulated by the bipolar dipole antenna 140, and do not cause interference or influence on the performance and noise suppression capability of the first-stage amplifier circuit 310. At the same time, the resistance values of the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R3 are equal, and are far greater than the equivalent resistance R PT of the bipolar dipole antenna 140, and the overall response speed can be optimized to some extent.
仪表放大器U1通过反馈电阻器RF,反馈电阻器RF连接在仪表放大器U1的两个反馈端之间。仪表放大器U1的放大增益的范围为100~10000,通过设置反馈电阻器RF使仪表放大器U1有较高的输入电阻,在探测的过程中,可以探测到低强度的太赫兹波信号,同时该仪表放大器U1具有高共模抑制比,保证了太赫兹波信号的完整性。 Instrumentation amplifier U1 is connected through feedback resistor R F and feedback resistor R F between the two feedback terminals of instrumentation amplifier U1. The amplification gain of instrumentation amplifier U1 ranges from 100 to 10000. By setting feedback resistor R F, instrumentation amplifier U1 has a higher input resistance. During the detection process, a low-intensity terahertz wave signal can be detected. Instrumentation amplifier U1 has a high common-mode rejection ratio to ensure the integrity of the terahertz wave signal.
